3. INTRODUCTION
The Apache AH Mk1 is an attack helicopter
produced by AgustaWestland under license
from Boeing, for the British Army. It is a
derivative of the AH-64D Apache helicopter,
which is used by the US Army. The AH Mk1
was custom built to meet the mission
specific requirements of the UK armed
forces.

5. DESIGN
 The Apache AH Mk1 retains the same airframe design of the
standard AH-64D Apache, but with modifications to engines
and mission systems.
 The major design changes include the integration of new
foldable rotor blades, weapon systems, countermeasures,
sensors and avionics equipment.
 The crash-worthy fuselage was designed to withstand
12.7mm rounds.
 It can even survive the hits of 23mm high-explosive
incendiary (HEI) rounds.

7. COCKPIT
The helicopter has an overall length of 17.5m, rotor
diameter of 14.6m and a height of 4.9m.
The maximum take-off weight of the AH Mk1 is
9,525kg.
 The fully-integrated glass cockpit accommodates
two crew members in tandem configuration.
The digital "MANPRINT" cockpit integrates
coloured multifunction displays (MFD), pilot night
vision sensor (PNVS) and integrated helmet and
display sighting system (IHADSS).

9. AVIONICS
 The avionics suite consists of integrated surveillance or
target acquisition equipment, including Longbow fire control
radar (FCR), TV, thermal imaging, direct view optics, laser
range finder / designator, laser spot tracker, automatic target
tracking and integrated GPS / INS / Doppler navigation
system.
 The Longbow FCR allows the crew to find, track and engage
aerial and ground-based targets in all weather conditions.
 The onboard communication systems provide the Apache
with command or attack co-ordination capabilities, through
real-time data sharing of weapon systems and mission
equipment.

11. ENGINES
 The Apache AH Mk1 is powered by two Rolls Royce-
Turbomeca RTM322 turboshaft engines.
 Each engine develops a maximum take-off power of
1,566kW.
 The twin-shaft engine is controlled by a full authority digital
engine control (FADEC) system.
 The helicopter has the fuel capacity of 1,421L. The cruise
speed of the Ah Mk1 is 259km/h.
 The maximum range is 537km.
 The helicopter has an endurance of two hours and 45
minutes.
